From the outset the NATO propaganda was selling Libyan rebels as knightly freedom fighters, and it transpires at the moment to what extent the picture is at odds with reality. The situation evokes similarities with Kosovo, where “freedom fighters” from the terrorist Kosovo Liberation Army, lauded by then-US Secretary of State M. Albright, mercilessly butchered defenseless people and even set up a networkof trafficking forcibly extracted human organs. (trafficking in human organs in Kosovo organized by KLA leader and Kosovo Prime minister Hashim Thaçi.)

These days, Libyan rebels are treated as heroes by N. Sarkozy and NATO top brass, and there are no signs that the hypocrisy and bias will ever wane.

Benghazi is well-known as a hot-bed of religious extremism. The Cyrenaica region has a long Islamist tradition going back to the Senussi brotherhood. Religious fundamentalism is much more evident here than in the western part of the country. Women are completely veiled from head to foot.They cannot drive and their social life is reduced to a minimum. Bearded men predominate. They often have the black mark of piety on their foreheads [the “zebibah,” which is formed by repeated prostration during Muslim prayers].

It is a little-known fact that Benghazi has become over the last 15 years the epicenter of African migration to Europe. This traffic in human beings has been transformed into a veritable industry, generating billions of dollars.

Parallel mafia structures have developed in the city, where the traffic is firmly implanted and employs thousands of people, while corrupting police and civil servants. It was only a year ago that the Libyan government, with the help of Italy, managed to bring this cancer under control.Following the disappearance of
its main source of revenue and the arrest of a number of its bosses, the local mafia took the lead in financing and supporting the Libyan rebellion. Numerous gangs and members of the city’s criminal underworld are known to have conducted punitive expeditions against African migrant workers in Benghazi and the surrounding area. Since the start of the rebellion, several hundred migrant workers — Sudanese, Somalis, Ethiopians, and Eritreans — have been robbed and murdered by rebel militias. This fact is carefully hidden by the international media.http://libyasos.blogspot.com/2011/06/al-qeada-and-libyan-revolution.html

A shocking instance where a crime had been committed by the rebels surfaced hours before HRW rolled out its sensational findings. In the zone between the Um al-Jersan and Qawalish villages, five bodies decomposed beyond recognition were unearthed from a deep concrete basin linked to the region’s water pipeline, with cloth bindings scattered around, which provides evidence that the people had had their arms and legs bound.

The human trafficking mafia is back in business in Benghazi , Libya, Benghazi to Malta was the route the human Benghazi do Malte je put čovjeka trafficking racket between north Africa and Europe used to make it to the big time. When we first moved here to Eritrea in 2006, the Benghazi connection was still in high gear as were the reports of Eritreans drowned in the Mediterranean.

So how did this most evil business find new life in Benghazi ? You can thank NATO for this. While NATO bombs blanket Libya with radioactive depleted uranium dust, part of the “pro-democracy forces” based in Benghazi being protected by NATO are busy sending Africans to a watery grave while stuffing their pockets with African blood money.

Yes, you can thank NATO for the rebirth of human trafficking from Benghazi, just as you could thank NATO for protecting and eventually nationalizing the Albanian mafia in Kosovo who ran an international business selling body parts from their Serb prisoners back in 1999.

** During another rally for his supporters in the town of Zaltan near the Tunisian border, Libyan leader Muammar Al Qathafi said he is ready to "sacrifice" to defeat rebels battling his forces after they warned the deadline for him to step down and stay in Libya has expired.
Referring to the NATO alliance and the insurgents who are trying to force him out of his role as leader of Libya, in an audio message broadcast late on Wednesday, a defiant Al Qathafi said: "We are not afraid. We will defeat them."
He went on to say: "We will pay the price with our lives, our women and our children. We are ready to sacrifice ourselves to defeat the enemy.”

22h/ For European bankers, it's a war for Libya's Gold. For oil corporations, it's a war for Cheap Crude (now threatening to destroy Libya's oil infrastructure, just like Iraq). But for Libya's women, it's a fierce, knock down battle over the Abaya— an Islamic style of dress that critics say deprives women of self-expression and identity. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=25806

20h/ A Belgian court has thrown out a war crimes complaint against NATO filed by Muammar Gaddafi&aposs daughter over charges that a bombing in Tripoli killed her daughter, her brother and other family members.

19h/ A French court rejected a similar complaint against French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Defence Minister Gerard Longuet and French military officers on June 30.

18h/ In an audio message broadcast on the state TV on Wednesday, the Libyan strongman said his troops were lying in wait for foreign soldiers to intrude into their territory. "We are here waiting for you. And so are the Mediterranean fish," The Brother Leader Gaddafi said.http://www.rttnews.com/Content/GeneralNews.aspx?Id=1676552&SM=1

17h/ BRUSSELS — Attorneys have filed a civil lawsuit in Belgium accusing NATO of killing 13 civilians, including 3 children, by bombing a residence in Libya. Marcel Ceccaldi, a Paris-based lawyer, said Thursday he also has asked the Brussels District Court to send two experts to Libya to assess the physical and psychological damages of the attack near Tripoli in June so that he can determine what monetary compensation to seek from NATO.

15h/ WIKILEAKS- US diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks expose some of the real reasons and diplomatic tensions behind NATO’s ongoing bombardment of Libya. Far from initiating a “humanitarian” intervention to protect civilians against Muammar Gaddafi’s government, Washington backed the NATO intervention for one reason only—the installation of a regime that better serves the strategic interests of the US, as well as the operations of the giant oil and gas companies. http://www.wsws.org/articles/2011/jul2011/wiki-j27.shtml

21h/ CANADA - Hence, the military mission, pledges of humanitarian aid and diplomatic efforts such as his visit to the transitional council leaders. In short, Libya, like Kosovo, Somalia, Haiti and, by some accounts, Iraq and Afghanistan, has become a humanitarian war. We can stay and fight for a long, long time — and not just by dropping bombs — or decamp and leave chaos. Even if you stay and get rid of a tyrant such as Saddam Hussein, the results are not clear. Has any humanitarian warrior wondered why the Iraqis show such little gratitude?

20h/ In any case, the enemies of the Colonel have demonstrated their inability to cope. Even the most zealous of his opponents acknowledged his military successes. Indeed, there has been no progress in the fighting since late March. The first deadline for Gaddafi neutralization expired on June 27, 2011, and NATO was forced to extend the operation for another 90 days (until the end of September). And even the optimists in the alliance do not rule out the possibility that the operation will have to be extended for the third time, if the long-awaited assault on the strategically important port Brega fails again.http://english.pravda.ru/world/africa/27-07-2011/118599-gaddafi_fight-0/

19h/ DEPLETED URANIUM in LIBYA - War crimes and crimes against humanity have been and continue to be committed in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya by NATO. Amongst these crimes, the Atlantic Alliance has been using depleted uranium against Libya, specifically civilians and civilian infrastructure.http://www.voltairenet.org/NATO-War-Crimes-Depleted-Uranium

18h/ Foreign Secretary William Hague has said the UK will recognise the Libyan rebel council as the "sole governmental authority", and has expelled Gaddafi-regime diplomats.

18h/ WHAT LESSONS FOR AFRICA? It wouldn’t be a bad thing if the Libyans revolted. What is bad is to affirm that people stoically accept a system that represses them all over the world without reacting. And Rousseau concludes: ‘Malo periculosam libertatem quam quietum servitium – translation – If gods were people, they would govern themselves democratically. Such a perfect government is not applicable to human beings.’ To claim that one is killing Libyans for their own good is a hoax.http://lizziesliberation.wordpress.com/2011/07/22/the-lies-behind-the-wests-war-on-libya/

17h/ “The West focused its propaganda machinery on the UN with a vengeance. And it was no mere ordinary propaganda campaign but a full-blown orchestration of history for the books. First, Libyan diplomats were induced and threatened to step down from their positions and promised that if they supported the opposition they would be ‘taken care of.’ This resulted in the Libyan diplomats at the UN not only resigning, but doing so and still maintaining a type of diplomatic status that allowed them to advocate on behalf of the armed rebels who were challenging the government of Libya for control of their country.” http://en.m4.cn/archives/20740.html

16h/ The mainstream media has been hiding the facts and the realities on the ground in Libya. The Libyan people have been gathering in massive rallies across Libya. These rallies demonstrate the widespread support of the Libyan people for Colonel Qaddafi and their opposition of the Libyan people to NATO and the Benghazi-based Transitional Council. http://www.voltairenet.org/Green-Square-Exposing-the

15h/ Some OPEC members have expressed support for increased production quotas to make up for production lost as a result of the conflict in Libya, a member of the 12-nation Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries. But Venezuelan Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez said there should be no production hikes “above all because we cannot give a blank check to Nato so that it can bomb any nation over oil. http://www.dawn.com/2011/07/27/caracas-links-opec-output-to-libya-conflict.html

13h/ Hello my friends, I miss you all, I am now in Libya, I promised you the truth to you from Libya, I was surprised, how people live their normal lives, they are brave, and children in the parks, and people were shopping, I'm happy to watch Tripoli this beau...ty, and the NATO bombing increases them strength , and the support of Gaddafi مرحبااصدقائي،اشتقتاليكمجميعا،اناالانفيليبيا،وعدتكمبالحقيقهاليكممنليبيا،لقدتفاجئت،كيفالناسيعيشونحياتهمالطبيعيه،انهمشجعان،والاطفالفيالحدائق،والناسفيالتسوق،اناسعيداناشاهدطرابلسبهذاالجمال،وقصفالناتويزيدهمقوة،وتأييدللقذافي

12h/ This is our news from Brega city: 25 members of armed gangs extremists in Southern Brega were blockaded, seven arrested and three killed (they were non-Libyans ). Four of the ones that were arrested were Egyptians and Algerians and the rest escaped like rats.

11h/ Brian SouterFriday like many other Fridays has seen huge rallies in Tripoli’s Green Square. It is very hard to get an accurate number of the mass of people that have attended these rallies. Estimates have placed the size of the July 1st rally in Green Square at one million people or more. In Libya it is said that the rally reached about 1.7 million people. The rallies have been taking place almost weekly in Tripoli and other Libyan cities, including Sabha on July 8, 2011.Public opinion in North America and Western Europe has been misinformed. People in Western Europe and North America are not even aware that these mass rallies have taken place. These massive rallies express the Libyan people’s patriotism and their firm opposition to NATO’s war of aggression on Libya.

10h/ Human Rights Investigations has been investigating the use and consequences of racist propaganda in Libya and this has led to the examination of video footage of atrocities committed in Benghazi, Libya. Today HRI reports on the lynching of a man by rebels in Benghazi. Our hope is that the death of this man will inspire people to take action for peace. http://humanrightsinvestigations.org/2011/07/17/lynching-in-benghazi/#comment-363Day 127: 26. july 2011.

I am surprised at your article don't you know that Mr Jalil is a Turkish citizen & not a Libyan citizen he has no rights to demand anything of Libya & the Libyan Regime. If Mr. Hague is not informed by that then he should be informed about it he is talking with a non Libyan. I am also surprised at your News blog because you are not telling your readers that the USA, England & France are financing & helping Jihadist who are against the Legal government of Libya! Its about time to get your information straight! Unless your doing the bidding of the Zionists/Levi & the New World Order!!!

** Libya will not begin negotiations on resolving the conflict with the rebels, as long as NATO does not stop air strikes, said Libyan Prime Minister today.

** The armed forces of the world's mightiest military alliance, Nato, have failed twice now to win a war. American, British, French and other foreign troops are preparing to withdraw from a combat role in Afghanistan, the first war in which Nato deployed ground forces, while the US, Britain and France again also appear to be on the point of giving up the fight in Libya, saying Gaddafi can stay there after all, provided he gives up power. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/jul/26/can-nato-win-a-war

** I hereby present evidence of NATO war crimes in Libya against international legally binding agreements, presenting the facts and allegations open for investigation by the competent bodies; in the name of humanity I request those with powers to take this one stage further, confirming that Humankind has reached an acceptable level of civilization. http://mathaba.net/news/?x=627683

22h/A mass-grave of alleged LIBYAN soldiers has been discovered in a rebel-controlled area in Libya, according to British newspaper The Telegraph. The location was swiftly bulldozed after the discovery, suggesting an attempt to cover-up the killings. The bodies were reportedly mutilated, adding to the recent concerns of human rights abuses by rebels. Such crimes are being swept under the carpet to support NATO’s cause in the region – so says Sukan Chandan, a spokesman for the British Civilians For Peace in Libya movement.http://www.infowars.com/mutilated-pro-gaddafi-soldiers-found-dead-in-rebel-controlled-area-report/

21h/ On Sunday Libyan army attempted to capture the strategically important town of El Gavalish, which is under the control of the insurgents.The town is located on the highway leading to the city of Garyanu and if control can be attained it would pave the way for the opening of traffic to flow to Tripoli from the south.

According to the World Food Program, a United Nations outfit, the north African country will soon experience a food crisis.

12h/Pakistan has so far refused to accord recognition to ‘a state-less Transitional International Council’.Tripoli has appreciated Islamabad’s position that the US-led armed intervention in Libya is beyond the UN mandate. Islamabad has told Washington that it would only recognise a government in Libya that controls Tripoli.

10h/ Evidence: NATO-backed Libya "Rebels" Are Clearly Terrorists. These abuses included executions, beheadings, and lynchings--especially of Black Libyans, migrant workers from other African countries and suspected loyalists of Muammar al-Quathafi. The information and even celebratory video clips are widely available through Youtube or Google searches.http://www.blackstarnews.com/news/135/ARTICLE/7522/2011-07-16.html

10h/ Major news outlets are deliberately ignoring or downplaying the racialist-motivated atrocities against Black people being committed by the terroristic "rebels." If such crimes were being committed against White people, NATO would be bombing these so-called rebels instead. No wonder the African Union, often divided on issues, have taken a common stand on Libya and pushing for a peace proposal --ceasefire, constitution and elections-- rather than allowing vengeful and blood-thirsty Benghazi to prevail in Libya.http://www.blackstarnews.com/news/135/ARTICLE/7536/2011-07-23.html

10h/ One of the consistent experiences of reporting alongside opposition fighters in Libya is feeling the delineation between what the rank and file have to say of the NATO bombing campaign and the statements of the officials in the Transitional National Council. But they also express deep and sometimes agonized frustration at the pace and target selection of the air support, and talk often of what they perceive to be NATO half-stepping and incompetence.

09/ Bulgaria Expels Libyan Diplomat.A Libyan diplomat has been given 24 hours to leave Bulgaria, the Foreign Ministry in Sofia confirmed on July 25 2011. Ibrahim Alfouirs, was declared persona non grata and ordered to leave Bulgaria under Article 9 of the Vienna Convention.

"Only eight people have been killed and an inquiry is under way to determine who killed them. There are no protests and no gunfire. Show us where the thousands of people (reportedly killed) are buried," Al Qathafi said.
